Just workin'. It's in a '70 Chevelle with a race prepped AT, 12 bolt spooled rear, Aeromotive fuel cell and system, 3000 stall, etc. It's ugly but has potential. It's not as fast as the Cobra was but could be faster with some work. It's also only got 300 miles on the drivetrain. I was thinking of doing something from the ground up but this one merits consideration.

I don't think that it's really a summit engine, but rather just a GM crate motor. They do have HUGE potential to make big power. That cam is positively "baby" for a BBC of that size. A 252/260 @ .050 would be a nice street strip setup in that engine, especially if you raised the compression by a full point or so. This would probably raise it's output by 80-100 hp. Also it'll easily and reliably take a 250-300 shot on top of that if you incorporate some type of timing retard.

oh, so you already have the engine...thought you were looking for one.

well the guy mike (who's truck I posted earlier) seemed to have a few bugs with his. I think they mainly centered around the ignition and carburator. I think he's on here occasionally by the name of miket. Or I can try to find his email. I'm sure he could give you a better idea of what he's done/gone through with it. HIs 502 made 663HP/633TQ, so his is a pretty stout combo.

Yeah, it's in a car I'm looking at, the guy built it and ran outta money. It seems to run just fine but it's a little weak for me the way it sits.

WELL, @ 9.6:1 COMP YOU COULD ALWAYS STRAP A BLOWER ON IT!

Or like Bill said, bump the CR up to 11.5 or so (yeah, I went 2 pts) & throw a real cam in it & hang on. I did that to my old 402 & it spun to 7500 all day long. And other than the GT 500 and my Bro's 57 Chebby I never lost a race in that car.
